Which Keys Do I start on?

-waves with a weird, big grin like someone who's totally out there XD-
Hey~! so I want to learn this song, but have no idea which keys you start with for playing this piece:

i know how to continue it, just not where to start as far as which keys on the piano. Is it from the 'Middle C'
Thank you for your help!

That link has the score. If you cannot read it at all, as your question suggests, I sugest you start from something much easier - something that will teach you to read music.

Like I said, it's just not knowing where exactly to begin, I can read this as in, I know what the symbols mean, how the song sounds and how to tell where keys are in relation to each other (I know that when you have a note on a line, if a note lies in the space between that and the next line, it's the piano key to the right of that key and the next line is the next key and so on.
Also I'm gonna just be playing the base cleff for alot of it since Im singing it, it's my little experiment to see if I like piano
Yeah, so Im just not sure where to begin playing (which keys)
Sorry if I sound noobish . ..

Left hand B flat (the black key to the left from the B below middle C)
Right hand bottom up: D (next key to the right from the C one octave above the middle C), F and C (two octaves above the middle C)

The diagram here might help you relate the piano keys and their register (how far up in relationship to middle C) to the written music.
